Amazing company - can't fault them

Their staff are amazing, always helpful, 200% helpful & friendly. The staff always get back to you within 24 hours - unlike similar companies like Monzo. The rates for exchange on currency when travelling are the best & NO FEES to withdraw my own money from my account (yes atm fees, exchange fees but this is not Starling's fault. Can't fault them, wish I had of got these guys before dealing with that Monzo headache. Stick with Starling you won't go wrong. Reviewed on: 24th January 2023
